I said after 88. It took time before you had a large number of people with the permits, and then presumably it would take some time for the criminals to react to the fact that more of their potential victims would be armed, and that it would be hard to tell who. One type of crime that did increase was crimes against tourists who where assumed to be less likely to be armed.

89 was not up it was down as was 90. Number of murders in '88 1,416, in '89 1,405, in '90 1,379.

then in '91 1,248, in '92 1,208, you get a slight blip up for '93 but not enough to break the overall downward trend. After that as the number of permits continued to climb the number of murders continued to drop.
